Quote from Starukh: "The sound that reverberated through the oblast’s administrative centre [the city of Zaporizhzhia – ed.] resulted from an enemy attack on the Matviivka hromada. The occupation forces have falsely reported that they targeted a critical strategic facility. But an S-300 missile landed in a field; the blast wave shattered windows in a local school and nearby buildings."
Details: The head of the Military Administration said that there were no casualties.
He added that 17 settlements in Zaporizhzhia Oblast came under Russian attack over the course of the past 24 hours; Russian forces shelled those settlements a total of 153 times; 28 instances of damage and destruction to property have been reported.
